of the Western Farmer and Gardner. In
his early ministry he delivered a series Of
sermons upon intemperance and kindred top

pleased. She was accompanied abroad

Mrs. Johnston has held the highest
social position an American woman can
hold both in this country and in Eng
land, and she is . high-bred woman Of
stately manner and beautiful personali-
ty. Of late years Mrs. Johnston has
lived in the strictest seclusion, mourn
ing the untimely loss of both her chill
dren, two lovely boys, and of her hus-
band, the late Henry Elliott Johnston
Of Baltimore. She has no near relative
in the world. and within the last four
or five years she has lost many of her
near friends. She is trying to interest
herself in the sightseeing of her two
young cousins. and to recover at least
her serenity and cheerfulness. She oc-
casionallv receives an old friend. who
yainly strives to lure her from her Sc
clusion, and all who see her admire her
serious manner and stately grace even
no.e than they did her earlier charms.

interest of the event. the funeral Of Mr..
Beecher extended over Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. The private funeral at

They Brought In the Goat.

A few evenings since, SO goes the
story, the members Of a certain lodge
OF a society that shall be nameless on
account Of its nearness to our city con-
cocted the novel production Of ; real
goat in a portion Of the military work
of the evening as follows: Tie
goat was gotten up the stairs and into
the ante-room of the lodge without
much trouble, and, properly secured,
was held in check until the time needed
for his appearance in the part he was
to take. which was near the closing por-
ton Of the work. AT the right time he
was led into the lodge-room, where. al
most as soon as entering, he entered in
to the sport of the occasion by charging
head on at the presiding officer, who,
not expecting such warmth of feeling.
was unprepared for the demonstration.
and was, consequently, quick
" foored. with pants badly torn and
himself otherwise demoralized. The
animal was secured after short tus-
sic. the candidate put in position and
then the goat not only charged the un-
fortunate candidate. doing his duty as
was intended, but also taking it into
his head to 60 the grand rounds,
which he did to fine advantage, scatter
ing the members right and left IN his
innocent fun, forcing some into tables
and nearly all into places out Of his
reach. 1t was some minutes before
the goat could be secured, and many
more before the lodge-room could be
put in order again. The candidate.
naturally enough, got mad. the officers
got more than they bargained for, and
as it is told, there will be no further At
tempt to change the ritual. for the
present at least, by the enterprising
members of the lodge. -Sonssrlsvil

fidence and respect. In 1874 a social
scandal burst upon him, and Theo.

a most sensational and protracted suit at
law ensued and the country was excited
and somewhat divided in sentiment So
~ drawn battle. nine of the jury holding
to Mr. Beecher's side and three holding out
against him. In the shock of this conflict
he held steadily to the line and measure of
his work and emerged from it only to go
forward more earnestly in all
his avenues OF leadership
and usefulness, facts, which fully as much
as the judgment of men, are the vindication
Of innocence. In this anniversary year Of
his career, fifty years pastor, forty years
the head of Plymouth church, and the fif-
tieth of his marriage. the eminent preacher
